INDEPENDENCE COFFEE CO. Old New Orleans Crème Brule Flavored Light Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 24 Oz

From the Brand Independence Coffee Co., Freshly Roasted Coffees Signature Blends, Freshly Roasted in Texas

Product Description: Our Beginning Ragan & Christi were married during their sophomore year at Texas State University at the age of 20. They graduated together, both receiving their BBA (Marketing) degrees in 1987 from Texas State.

Ragan & Christi Bond got started in the coffee roasting business almost by accident. After Ragan spent fifteen years as a commodities trader in the fast-paced energy sector, the Bonds moved their family from Houston to the small town of Brenham, Texas. In 2001, Christi Bond and her sister opened a small coffee shop called Main Street Coffee & Trading/Independence Coffee Co. Shortly thereafter, Ragan began roasting coffee for their shop in his garage. The first year, Ragan roasted 1,800 lbs. of coffee on a 10 lb. Ambex roaster.

Our Growth In 2018, Christi and Ragan opened a specialty coffee and tea retail destination in Brenham, Texas, called Black Truck '48 Coffee & Tea Market. The name pays homage to the 1948 Ford black truck the Bonds originally used for coffee delivery and is pictured on Independence Coffee bags. In 2019, Christi and Ragan Bond were named SBA Persons of the Year for Texas. Together with their growing team of 32, they custom and craft roasted a record 700,000 lbs. of coffee in 2019. Moving forward, Independence Coffee Co. continues to brew some good in 2020 by replacing their current single-serve cups with new coffee pods.

Our Mission to You Our roastery is small by most standards. However, we see this as a true advantage. Our size and hands-on approach to coffee and tea allows Independence to measure up to both beginning and seasoned coffee enthusiasts' high standards. Our coffees are packaged within hours of leaving our roasters, and many times, they are still warm when we hand-package them. Our commitment to freshness and tight distribution standards has allowed us to deliver our coffees to some bed and breakfasts, gourmet markets, and grocery markets the same day they are roasted. Now you can bring that same experience from our home to yours!

The Independence Roast Independence has only three roasters on staff, with one being our original roaster. The other two have been trained by our original roaster in all facets of the roasting and blending process, ensuring our coffees - OUR COFFEES - are consistently roasted and blended the same way, every single time. While others may roast in very large batches with minimal variance in timing requirements, the 'Independence Roast' uses time and temperature to guide each roast through several stages, creating a deep-roasted coffee that enhances one's coffee experience.

Lasting Freshness Our 50-count case size are individually wrapped and flushed with nitrogen, allowing each to have a one-year expiration date. With the name printed on the packaging, you will always know which Independence Coffee you are about to drink. This item is an excellent choice for your office or as a handout at your next gathering with family and friends.

Our Commitment Independence Coffee's approach is simple. We give to local organizations within our community, such as the Baylor Park Project, the Brenham High School Special Needs Program, and the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County.
